So another shooting
So another exodus
So another hunger
So another death

Why do I listen to the news
It is an ever repeating record
The same but for different labels

Why do I listen to the news
Is it of fear my label is called
That the plagues are near and able?

We can go to the plage!
Responded the cynical me
Desperate to turn the page
I run out of the door, where is the key!

So another shooting
So another exodus
So another looting
So another harassment continuous

Why do I listen to the news!
